Insurance and Bonding Requirements

These are general insurance and bonding requirements to be utilized for service providers, contractors, and subcontractors. Legal Services will assist in reviewing certificates of insurance and bonds that are submitted.

The Legal or Risk Management services reserves the right to approve or disapprove insurance coverage for any service provider, contractor, or subcontractor due to financial instability of the insurance company, limits, coverages, and insurance terms or conditions, or the lack thereof.

Service providers, contractors, and subcontractors should carry the following insurance coverage:
 

1.

Workers’ Compensation (WC) and Employers’ Liability (EL) Insurance

 

WC

EL 

– State required limits

– bodily injury by accident – $500,000 each accident
– bodily injury by disease–$500,000 policy limit
– bodily injury by disease–$500,000 each employee
 
2.

Automobile Liability Insurance

  $1,000,000 combined single limit–bodily injury and property damage for injuries to person or persons involved in an accident in connection with the work to be performed for the church. If a vehicle is not involved in the scope of work for the church, no proof of insurance is required.
   
3. Commercial General Liability
  $2,000,000 general aggregate
$1,000,000 bodily injury/property damage–per occurrence
$2,000,000 products/completed operations–aggregate
   
4. Excess Liability above the EL, Automobile Liability, and Commercial General Liability
  $5,000,000 aggregate
   
5. Installation floater or builders’ risk property policy (installation floater–renovations and builders’ risk–new buildings/structures).
  This coverage will protect the church buildings/structures during the renovation or new construction of the church. Limit: amount of the contract.
   
6. Performance, labor, and material bond–( for contracts in excess of $50,000) The contractor shall furnish this bond equal to 100 percent total cost of labor, equipment, material, contractor’s supplies, overhead, and profit of the contractor from a company authorized to do business in the state where the work is to be performed. This bonding company will be approved by the church. The cost of the bond will be added to the contract amount (and included in the claim if applicable).
   
7. The church will be provided with a certificate of insurance evidencing the insurance coverage and limits as outlined above–before the start of any work.
   
8. The church will be named as an additional insured on 2, 3, and 4 above. The church will be named as a loss payee on 5 above. This will include the name of the local congregation and the World Church.
